Number of people living in air quality management areas by year
Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) are declared in specific locations where atmospheric concentrations of one or more pollutants are either close to or exceeding statutory objectives set out within the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A series of pollutants have been identified as harmful to human health and the environment when present within the atmosphere in excess of certain concentrations. Such thresholds are set as objectives and include pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO-2), sulphur dioxide (SO-2) volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fine particles (known as 'particulates').

The State of the Environment report presents data on the indicators that monitor progress against the Welsh Government's Environment Strategy. The full set of data, analysis, and notes on all of the indicators are available here through our StatsWales website. On StatsWales, the indicators are presented in a series of online reports which are also linked to data tables which users can then manipulate and/or download.
The statistics come from a range of sources in Wales and across the UK, which are updated at different times and intervals. The StatsWales reports will be updated twice a year in July and December and these updates will be highlighted through a pre-announced headline statistics published on our website. A statistical bulletin showing the status of each indicator will be produced annually in July to provide a snapshot of progess across all the indicators.
The contribution of data and information by organisations which monitor the environment is gratefully acknowledged. Although most indicators are currently measured, some further work is planned to develop the other indicators and in some cases to identify more appropriate indicators, as indicated in the StatsWales reports.
The symbol '-' is used where the data is less than half the final digit shown. This may or may not be a real zero.
Unless otherwise stated, the data in these tables and indicator reports are classed as National Statistics.
